There are many more, but these stand out. Try the Amber series from Zelazny for an example of some seriously good writing. Thumb up

Ditto the shitto that! The Amber Chronicles starts off with a guy throwing furniture and dogs eating cars and then goes into some crazy crap. 

Also Gordon Dickson and David Drake.

I've read the Amber series. Good stuff. I will now check out Dickson and Drake. I'm not trying to write like anyone else. I have my own style. But I love to read.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
